Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Something is seriously wrong with your equation.
revenue = number of units sold times cost per unit.
if the cost per unit sold is 11.50 and the revenue is 3450, then the number of units sold is equal to 3450 divided by 11.50 = 300.
where does the 51 come from?
if 512 bottles of water were sold for 11.50 each, then the revenue would have been 11.50 times 51 = 586.5.
